I'M 38 now but in my early bow hunting years probably 17 or so I was hunting a green field with a Pearson 'wheels only" compound bow my arrows were from Wal Mart,uncut,aluminum,long as your leg,and fat as your fingers.They looked like spears in the air.I once was attempting to shoot a spike.This green field was situated in a 8 year old grown up clear cut.Not a tree around to climb so i made a make-shift ground blind.I had 4 "good" arrows and shot all 4 in the direction of this spike.I would miss and hear my arrows land in the clear cut across the field.The little buck NEVER spooked!I sat there out of arrows and at dark made my way from the field with that spike on the other end,he never ran off.I felt so stupid on the way to the truck.
